I APPLAUD YOUR EXTENSIVE AND IN DEPTH THESIS
Mr.AirRabbit.Your knowledge of the subject is indeed commendable.Just want to clear a small misunderstanding.
My statement was intended for your lack of succinct qualifications to demean MSFS as a pre-flight training devise was on the subject of MSFS and not the real simulators.If you wish to verify how the programming is vetted it is best to approach the individual companies that produce the add ons(which is my focus rather than MSFS itself).
This thread was announced with the intent on getting a definition..just DEFINITION of what a Level D simulator was and whether the aircraft on the list I had shown have any fitting to that definition...it was not a trick question or a cryptic one either.
There was no need to inflate my head with your applause for the success of my training....never requested it.I never suggested that the sucess of my training benefitted entirely due to MSFS preparation, rather that its augmentation was very useful(unlike the position that you took on the same) to pre Sim-flight training...PARTICULARLY(I MUST ADD), AFTER A VERY LONG ABSENCE FROM FLYING...SUCH AS ALMOST 10 YEARS!
As I have introduced this thread, I think it would be good to thank every one for the thoughts and commentary this thread has provoked,inspite of the huge divergeance from the original question after your provoking the MSFS factor , despite of my warning against related answers with respect to MSFS in my original question.Some individuals were close to answering the thread more relevantly and I PARTICULARLY COMMEND AND THANK
MAD(FLT)SCIENTIST,LEFTHAND DOWN A BIT,and RBR919.Your commentry
Air RABBIT was non the less enlighteneing and no doubt, look forward to savouring more from you in future threads
I now consider this thread terminal,unless a clearer textbook DEFINITION of the various levels of Simulators can be offered.
Cheers
